Ya Jokin???? Marlon Jackson Wants to Turn Historic Slave Port into Resort

by YaDig Staff on Feb.17, 2009, under Entertainment, Ya Joking

In a money making scheme that just sounds crazy. Marlon Jackson wants to transform a historic slave port in Nigeria into a museum, and resort.

 “This will be an adventurous ride giving you an historical overview of African music. From hologram images, concert footage, a state of the art recording facility, to robotic figures displaying the rhythmic beats from 300 years ago where music began leading up to the biggest African group in the world, The Jackson Five,” says literature from the investment group behind the plan, called The Motherland Group (TMG).

Of course the local Nigerians dont see it as a positive endeavor.

    “This plan is morally reprehensible, it’s like dancing on the graves of dead people and telling them you’re honouring them,” C Don Adinuba, a writer and PR consultant, told the BBC.

What the hell Marlon!!! Trying to make money off dead slaves.  Nice try to make it seem like you are paying homage to them when you really just found a scheme that can put money in your pockets.  You probably the one behind auctioning Michaels glove.

Michael Jackson Willing Copyrights to Paul McCartney??

by YaDig Staff on Jan.06, 2009, under Entertainment

According to PulseofRadio.com Michael Jackson has reportedly redrafted his will and is leaving his share of the copyrights to John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s Beatles classics to none other than McCartney. A source close to Jackson told mirror.co.uk, “Michael is worried about his health so he decided it was time to look at his finances. Most of his estate has been divided up between his three children. But Michael told his lawyers he was sad he no longer talks to Sir Paul and said he wanted to make things right.”

The Jackson insider went on to say that the singer is currently in dire health, explaining, “Michael is suffering serious back and leg pain and has for a few years. He gets spasms in his back which means he spends a lot of time in bed and a wheelchair. He weighs just over seven stone and is very frail. He’s also had a nasty bout of emphysema and there have been reports he has another lung disease.”

  • A source close to McCartney said, “If Michael Jackson was to give back the song rights in his will then Macca would be delighted.”

  • McCartney, who urged Jackson to invest in music copyrights, severed their friendship in 1985 after Jackson outbid him to acquire the Beatles song rights. The pair were last photographed together backstage at McCartney’s L.A. Forum show in November 1989, but the duo — who scored massive early ’80s hit duets with “The Girl Is Mine” and “Say, Say, Say” — presently have no relationship.
